Document background
An Addendum Tenancy Agreement is essential when parties need to modify an existing lease while keeping the original agreement intact. This document type is commonly used in Saudi Arabia when circumstances require changes to rental terms, property usage, or other contractual provisions. It must comply with Saudi civil law, Shariah principles, and be registered on the mandatory Ejar platform. The addendum typically includes specific amendments, their effective dates, and any new terms while referencing the original agreement. It's particularly relevant for both residential and commercial properties, requiring careful consideration of Saudi Arabia's property laws, tenant protections, and landlord obligations. The document serves as a legally binding modification that supplements rather than replaces the original tenancy agreement.
